Nothing's sub-brand CMF, which emphasizes Color, Material, and Finish, is gearing up to introduce its inaugural smartphone soon. Earlier reports this month indicated that it might be a budget-friendly device packed with impressive features. Recently, a leak from tipster @realMlgmXyysd on X (formerly known as Twitter) has unveiled the specifications of the forthcoming CMF smartphone, hinting that it could be a rebranded variant of the Nothing Phone (2a).
Specifications Revealed
According to the post on X, the tipster suggests that the engineering prototype of the CMF phone, model number A015, is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC, a 5,000mAh battery, and supports 33W fast charging. The report also indicates that the phone will boast a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The device will reportedly come with 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and options for 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, along with a MicroSD card slot for additional storage. Furthermore, the leak suggests a 50MP primary camera accompanied by another camera in a vertical alignment on the back, while the front will house a 16MP sensor.
Design and Features
The back cover of the device will be made of replaceable plastic, and this model will not feature any Glyph lights. The operating system is expected to be the Android 14-based Nothing OS 2.5, with support for Widevine L1 certification for HD streaming. The phone will be offered in Black, Green Blue, and an India-exclusive Orange color option.
Launch Details
Additionally, the tipster states that the phone is expected to launch in July 2024, with a price range between $249 to $279 USD. This contradicts an earlier report that suggested a budget price of around Rs 12,000 (approximately $140). The specifications closely mirror those of the Nothing Phone (2a), hinting that the CMF phone could be a rebranded version featuring some design tweaks. However, as these specs are from an engineering sample, readers should treat this information cautiously and watch for further updates.
